Thrilled to start as Junior Group Leader
@ibotcz.bsky.social
this Sept at Průhonice! 🌿🚀

We will explore how #genomesize, #polyploidy & #traits shape plant #diversity, #evolution & #distribution across space and time, combining lab work and modelling.🌴🔬🧬

Funded #PhD openings soon! Get in touch!

Fungal #GenomeSize variation is largely driven by TEs & lineage-specific genome defenses. @tbadet.bsky.social & @danielcroll.bsky.social show that presence/absence of RIP mutation systems influences #genome architecture, identifying a likely novel defense mechanism @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4hcC5tx

Plant #genomesize varies hugely, but what drives variation within species? In #Festuca ovina, #genomesize is associated with fine-scale variation in #soil depth—but not #climate —highlighting the importance of edaphic conditions. #BCCIL @ect-uk.bsky.social

A bit late but I wanted to post that our study on the relationship between #GenomeSize and #Cell size in #bryophytes was published in #PCE

Has anybody out there received response from an NCBI help desk in recent month or two? I have an irritating "genomesize" error because it is comparing my Hi-C genome to a lousy little PE150 assembly from a few years back - I'm an author on that one as well. But seems I need a human to override this.

FYI, Canu works with metagenomic datasets:

"""
Something like:

genomeSize=20m
maxInputCoverage=10000 corOutCoverage=10000
corMhapSensitivity=high
corMinCoverage=0
redMemory=32 oeaMemory=32 batMemory=64
